Senior Pictures
Senior pictures for tux and drape have finished. Ms. Schentrup will distribute the Senior Pictures as they arrive at the school.
What if I missed picture days? You have some options:
Call Holifield Photography - (859) 276-2040. You will at least have Senior Pictures to order from them. Your student may not make the yearbook, but you will at least have a senior picture you can order from them. They take 10 senior picture appointments a week, so call them sooner rather than later.
Thursday, February 6, 2025 we are having Cap and Gown photos. We are in need of caps and gowns to use for this photo day, so if you have an alumni who would be willing to let us use their cap and gown, the yearbook staff would appreciate it.

Teaching & Learning Students Attend Educators Rising Open House
Last week our Teaching & Learning 11 & 12 grade students attended an open house designed for Educators Rising and education pathway students to learn about their teaching programs. The day was interactive with guests, workshops, and a great lunch!
Mariachi Band
The Board of Education had the chance to hear from our incredible Academies of Bryan Station High School Mariachi Band—the only one in Kentucky! What a talented group of students led by talented educators.
Pathways to Purpose
Students in Pathways to Purpose participated in restorative circles for college and career readiness. Our first session on transitioning from high school to adulthood was a huge success! The students had the opportunity to meet new people, openly share their fears and worries, and be transparent about this important phase in their lives. Students said it was comforting to know they weren’t alone in their struggles and found the session incredibly helpful.
